ABSTRACT:
A cable connector for connecting cable conductors (6A) of a flat cable (6) to wire conductors (41A, 42A, 43A) of a plurality of external wires (41, 42, 43), respectively comprises a T-shaped wire mounting plate (30) formed with a plurality of U-shaped grooves (31, 32, 33) and with a pair of guide bridges (34, 35). The U-shaped grooves hold the external wires on a first surface thereof in such a way that the wire conductors of the external wires are arranged being bent at a right angle and further projected from one end surface of the wire mounting plate, respectively. A pair of the guide bridges (34, 35) hold the fiat cable on a second surface thereof opposite to the first surface thereof in such a way that the cable conductors of the flat cable are arranged being projected from the same end surface of the wire mounting plate side by side with the projecting wire conductors of the external wires. After that, the wire conductors of the external wires are soldered to the cable conductors of the flat cable near the same end surface of the wire mounting plate. Further, it is preferable to mold the wire mounting plate with a resin together with the external wires and the flat cable both pressure-fit to the wire mounting plate. The flat cable connector can reduce the cable connection process without need of any jig, being strong against external force.
